The First Marquis of Daxuan

The journey from the Heavenly Profound Realm to the Heavenly Fate Realm is a major hurdle for martial artists.

Ninety-nine percent of those at the Heavenly Profound Realm will never be able to break through to the Heavenly Fate Realm in their entire lives.

Jiang Yizheng, the weapon-forging master of Spring Breeze City, entrusted Su Mu to find the Heavenly Fate Pill, simply because the Heavenly Fate Pill could increase the chances of breaking through to the Heavenly Fate Realm.

The reason why the Azure Sky Sect has been able to run rampant in the Void Sacred Realm for so many years is largely due to the Golden Light Cave.

The Golden Light Cave can give the Sky Dome Sect's Heavenly Profound Realm cultivators a greater chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Fate Realm.

Being able to enter the Golden Light Cave for cultivation is an opportunity that any cultivator in the Heavenly Profound Realm would dream of.

but.

Su Mu merely glanced at the Medicine God before coldly saying, "Medicine God, are you stupid or am I stupid?"
If I went into the Golden Light Cave, how could I possibly come out alive?

"I must have been out of my mind to go to the Azure Sky Sect and walk right into their trap."

Entering the Golden Light Cave to cultivate is indeed a rare opportunity, but that place belongs to the Azure Sky Sect.

Su Mu and the Azure Sky Sect are not yet at that level of harmony.

If he dares to go to the Azure Sky Sect, there is no doubt that the Azure Sky Sect will absolutely not let him leave alive.

He will only have two paths to choose from.

One option was to be killed on the spot by the Azure Sky Sect.

The other option is to be imprisoned by the Azure Sky Sect until death.

The Medicine God's expression stiffened slightly. He awkwardly forced a smile and said, "How could that be—"

"I'll give you one more chance. If you still can't come up with something that satisfies me, then don't blame me."

Su Mu said calmly.

His hand remained firmly on the shoulder of the Illusionary God Clan member, giving no one a chance to take advantage.

The Medicine God was speechless and looked to Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, for help.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, cursed inwardly, "Fool!"

I originally thought this medicine god was an extraordinary person, but now I realize that he is nothing special.

These people in the Taixu Sacred Realm have been high and mighty for too long; they've even forgotten how to interact with others.

They are used to being in a superior position and have no idea how to deal with people who are stronger than them.

Who is Su Mu?

He's a ruthless guy who fought his way up from the very bottom to where he is now.

Even I wouldn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

What makes you think that your little tricks can fool Su Mu?
In this situation, we should rescue the undercover agent first. Even if we want to kill Su Mu, we should think of a way to do it later.

How could you possibly think of using a trap to trick Su Mu into handing over the hostages?
“Su Mu, I am willing to give up three states and one million high-grade spirit stones to save his life.”

If you have any other requests, feel free to mention them. I absolutely won't haggle over anything that I can meet!

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, said in a deep voice.

His words encompassed three provinces, far surpassing the grandeur of the Medicine God.

As for the one million high-grade spirit stones, of course, the Medicine God would have to provide them.

One million high-grade spirit stones is a lot, but compared to the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves, it's nothing.

The Medicine God thought for a moment, then swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

"Ha ha!"

Before Su Mu could even speak, Liang Jinglue burst into laughter.

"One million high-grade spirit stones?"

Liang Jinglue laughed loudly and said, "Yang Xiuhu, you are at least a master of the Great Xuan, is one million high-grade spirit stones enough to send a beggar away?"
Do you really think Lord Su is unaware of the value of this undercover agent?

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, narrowed his eyes, a strong killing intent flashing in them.

He rarely felt regret in his life, but now, he had the thought of regret again.

The last time he regretted something was that he didn't kill Su Mu sooner.

Now, he regrets not killing Liang Jinglue sooner!

He shouldn't have let Liang Jinglue leave the Great Xuan Dynasty alive after Liang Jinglue helped him set up the teleportation array!

If Liang Jinglue had been killed back then, we wouldn't be in this mess now.

Unfortunately, there's no medicine for regret.

"I said, you can ask for anything you want, as long as I can provide it, I will not haggle!"

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, ignored Liang Jinglue and instead looked at Su Mu, speaking with conviction.

He really went all out with those words.

Who is Su Mu?

That's the best weaponsmith in the outer realms.

If he were to make exorbitant demands, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, knew he might not be able to satisfy Su Mu, and even if he could, it would be a huge financial burden.

But in the current situation, if he hesitates even slightly, the spy from the Illusionary God Clan might die at Su Mu's hands.

This spy from the Heavenly Illusion God Clan possesses a treasure map hidden among the seventy-two Heavenly Fate Divine Weapons, something both he and the Azure Sky Sect are determined to obtain.

Even disregarding the treasure map, Emperor Yang Xiuhu was reluctant to sacrifice this person simply because of his identity as a member of the Heavenly Illusion God Clan.

Is it easy to subdue a single member of the Celestial God Clan?

With this Celestial God Clan, there are countless things they can do for him.

Moreover, the abilities of the Heavenly Illusion God Clan are not something that can be cultivated. Once the Heavenly Illusion God Clan is gone, it will be impossible to find another one.

Therefore, whether for the sake of the person or for the treasure map, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, must spare no effort to protect him.

"Humph!"

Liang Jinglue snorted coldly and said, "Lord Su, did you hear that?"
He's just making empty promises; he has absolutely no sincerity.

Our Martial Sect is different.”

Having received Tian Cangchen's promise, Liang Jinglue can now walk the world as a disciple of the Martial Sect.

As a disciple of the Martial Sect, he could now make certain promises to Su Mu.

"As long as you lift a finger and kill him, our Martial Sect is willing to pay one hundred bottles of Yellow Jade Body Tempering Ointment, one hundred bottles of Hundred Herbs Nourishing Essence Pills, plus a top-grade spiritual vein!"

Liang Jinglue said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, even the God of Medicine's pupils constricted sharply.

Everything else aside, a high-grade spiritual vein?
A top-grade spiritual vein is of immeasurable value.

Even a powerful sect like the Azure Sky Sect cannot easily produce a high-grade spiritual vein.

To exaggerate a bit, nobody knows how valuable the treasure left behind by the Seventy-Two Thieves really is; whether it can even compare to a top-grade spiritual vein is another matter entirely.

In order to monopolize the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves, Liang Jinglue was even willing to give up a top-grade spiritual vein. What else could he be but madness?
"madman!"

Even Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, couldn't help but curse.

"Lord Su, a top-grade spiritual vein is far more sincere than their one million top-grade spirit stones."

Even the worst of the best spiritual veins can yield millions of top-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, as long as a superior spiritual vein is not overexploited, it can continuously produce superior spiritual stones, making it inexhaustible.

In the Taixu Sacred Realm, a single high-grade spiritual vein is enough to sustain a first-rate sect.

Super sects like the Azure Sky Sect and the Martial Sect naturally possess more than one high-grade spiritual vein.

However, among top-tier sects, only a small number of people possess high-grade spiritual veins; most only occupy a mid-grade spiritual vein.

If it were someone like Tian Cangchen, a second-generation martial arts master born with a silver spoon in his mouth, it would be understandable for him to ask for such a high price.

How dare Liang Jinglue?
How does he have such great courage?

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, frowned and looked at Liang Jinglue.

Liang Jinglue looked arrogant.

That's right. Liang Jinglue came from a humble background. Before this, neither his strength nor his background could compare with Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu.

But that doesn’t mean Liang Jinglue was a miser.

Because of his humble origins, Liang Jinglue understood that he had to be generous when necessary.

If you have nothing to begin with, how can you defy fate if you keep holding back?

"High-grade spiritual veins?"

Su Mu slowly began, "You are indeed very sincere. In that case—"

Su Mu's clothes fluttered and rustled even without wind.

An invisible killing intent permeated the air.

That day, the Illusion God felt weak all over. His face was pale and his eyes were full of pleading, but under Su Mu's power, he couldn't even utter a single word.

"and many more!"

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, spoke loudly.

Seeing that Su Mu was already attracted by Liang Jinglue's superior spiritual vein and was about to kill him, Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu was also very anxious.

He didn't bother to consult with the Medicine God and shouted loudly, "I'll also contribute a high-grade spiritual vein!"
My conditions remain the same, but I'll add another high-grade spiritual vein!
Furthermore, I can promise that the Great Xuan Dynasty will absolutely not initiate military action against you within the next ten years!

"you--"

The Medicine God hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

A top-grade spiritual vein.

Even if he could afford it, he wouldn't be willing to part with it.

The true value of the Seventy-Two Thieves' treasure is still unknown; it might not even be as valuable as a high-grade spiritual vein.

Trading a top-grade spiritual vein for a treasure whose details are unknown seems like a bad deal.

In the eyes of the "Medicine God," there was absolutely no need to pay such a high price.

At worst, they can have Su Mu kill the man, and then keep an eye on Tian Cangchen; they can still find out the location of the treasure.

As long as Tian Cangchen goes to find the treasure, they can easily snatch it from him again.

Losing the treasure map would at most mean losing a slight advantage.

Fortunately, the Medicine God still retained some rationality.

He knew that he and Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, were allies, and under these circumstances, he could not undermine his ally under any circumstances.

The Medicine God was already contemplating defaulting on his debt, while Liang Jinglue frowned.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, is indeed a formidable opponent!
No wonder he fought for a century and still couldn't defeat him.

He's really willing to spend money!

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, raised the price, immediately putting Liang Jinglue in a difficult position.

To follow or not to follow?

He didn't have that much confidence.

Even for a Martial Grandmaster, producing a single high-grade spiritual vein is already the limit.

If it were Tian Cangchen, he might be able to come up with something else.

However, Liang Jinglue had only just been allowed to enter the sect by Tian Cangchen's permission. Even if he had the guts, he didn't know what good things the Martial Sect had that could impress Su Mu.

The spiritual veins were already the limit of his imagination.

Liang Jing was ambitious and courageous, but he lacked experience.

Two spiritual veins?

Liang Jinglue's mind raced, and he hesitated whether or not to call out.

“I’m telling you, all your talk and no action is just empty promises.”

Su Mu shook his head and said, "What I dislike most is talking without proof."

You should produce what you're saying.

"A top-grade spiritual vein—whoever offers it first, I'll help them."

Su Mu's words were resolute and forceful.

For a moment, Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and Liang Jinglue were both stunned.

They really don't have that.

They dared to make such exorbitant demands only because they had the support of the Azure Sky Sect and the Martial Sect behind them.

Without considering these factors, neither Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, nor Liang Jinglue could possibly produce a high-grade spiritual vein.

They couldn't even have seen a high-grade spiritual vein, let alone produce one.

Spiritual veins have long since disappeared in the outer realms. Finding even a single spirit stone in the entire outer realms is as difficult as ascending to heaven, let alone a spiritual vein.

Back then, the Zhang family only had a broken, low-grade spiritual vein, yet they produced a constant stream of experts within a thousand years.

The incomplete, low-grade spiritual veins were only able to survive in the outer realms because of their poor quality.

In this situation, where can Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and Liang Jinglue find a high-grade spiritual vein?
"Medicine God, let's deal with this first. Give him the top-grade spiritual vein first, we can take it back later."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, looked at the God of Medicine and transmitted his voice.

The Medicine God couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Where is he going to get a high-grade spiritual vein?
Besides, once something has fallen into Su Mu's hands, are you sure you can take it back?
If you have that ability, then try snatching the person back first.

"I do not have."

The Medicine God transmitted his voice crisply and decisively.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu: "..."

"Don't worry, I don't have it, and Tian Cangchen still can't produce it."

The Medicine God continued, "No one can produce a top-grade spiritual vein. Without it, your price will be even higher—"

The Medicine God hadn't even finished speaking.

Su Mu spoke again.

"I knew it, you couldn't produce a top-grade spiritual vein."

Su Mu's tone was full of sarcasm, "Have you even seen what a top-grade spiritual vein looks like? Yet you dare to spout such nonsense."

Trying to get something for nothing from me?

"You've really given me too much face!"

He snorted coldly, and before he finished speaking, his hands shone brightly.

All of a sudden.

The white light engulfed the Celestial God Clan.

The Heavenly Illusion God Clan member let out a miserable scream, and his body instantly turned to ashes.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, widened his eyes in surprise.

Liang Jinglue's face showed a look of surprise.

"you--"

The two spoke almost simultaneously, their voices trembling slightly.

Su Mu glanced at Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and then at Liang Jinglue.

"Liang Jinglue, remember this: you owe me one hundred bottles of Yellow Jade Body Tempering Ointment, one hundred bottles of Hundred Herbs Nourishing Essence Pills, and a top-grade spiritual vein."

Su Mu said calmly.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu: "..."

Damn Shetland Sheepdog, isn't it supposed to be cash on delivery?

Why should Liang Jinglue be allowed to pay later?

Is my promise, Yang Xiuhu, not a promise?
You'd rather believe him than me?
"Su Mu!"

The Medicine God shouted through gritted teeth.

"Medicine God, things have come to this point, anger is useless, retreat!"

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently twice. Then he grabbed the Medicine God and said in a deep voice.

The Medicine God narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with murderous intent.

"withdraw!"

He also shouted.

Those golden-armored generals, and even the golden giant trembling with Tian Cangchen, all began to retreat upon hearing this. The army of the Great Xuan Dynasty arrived quickly and left even faster, disappearing like a tide across the desolate continent.

soon.

Outside the Demon Court City, only the Demon Court's side and Su Mu's side remained.

After a long while, Tian Cangchen finally appeared in front of Su Mu.

He changed his clothes and was no longer the disheveled figure he had been in when fighting the golden giant.

In fact, it seemed as if the battle had never happened.

Tian Cangchen remains the same arrogant true disciple of the Martial Sect.

Su Mu looked at Tian Cangchen, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Does it make sense?

He had seen it from beginning to end, so what if Tian Cangchen changed his clothes?
"Su Mu."

With his hands behind his back, Tian Cangchen arrogantly said, "You killed that damned undercover agent for me, so I owe you one."

I will not renege on what I promised you, Liang Jinglue.

I will have the item delivered immediately, but the journey is long and it will take some time.

This is not me breaking my word; you should know that.

Su Mu nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

There are a thousand bad things about Tian Cangchen, a second-generation martial arts master, but there is one good thing about him.

That is, they care about their reputation and would never do anything that would make them lose face.

Just like now.

Since the undercover agent is dead, Tian Cangchen can completely renege on his debt.

After all, it's a top-grade spiritual vein.

Besides, they were enemies, not friends, with Su Mu. If they renege on their debt to the enemy, no one can say anything about it.

But Tian Cangchen deliberately did not do that.

He didn't want to be looked down upon by Su Mu, so even though he felt a little heartache, he still accepted Liang Jinglue's words.

Su Mu was also pleasantly surprised.

to be frank.

He never really expected to get his hands on this top-grade spiritual vein.

His previous intervention was merely to ensure that the treasure would fall into Tian Cangchen's hands.

He still needs to use the treasure to incite a conflict between the Martial Sect and the Azure Sky Sect, so how could he possibly let it fall into the hands of the Medicine God and the Mysterious Emperor Yang Xiuhu?

Therefore, no matter what price Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu offered, Su Mu would never release that undercover agent.

However, since Tian Cangchen was willing to give him money, Su Mu would not refuse.

That's a top-grade spiritual vein.

As far as he knew, even a powerful sect like the Martial Sect had no more than a hundred high-grade spiritual veins.

With a top-grade spiritual vein, he could recoup all the effort he had put into preparing the fake treasure.

For a moment, Su Mu even began to admire Tian Cangchen.

"Tian Cangchen, I sold you the Heavenly Weapon, so consider this after-sales service."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "I estimate that Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and the God of Medicine will not give up so easily."

I'm afraid it won't be long before they make a comeback.

In my opinion, your current strength is still somewhat inferior to theirs.

"So? How about you consider asking me to help?"

"You're asking me to help? What do you mean?"

Tian Cangchen paused for a moment, then frowned.

Liang Jinglue's eyes darted around, and he walked over to Tian Cangchen's side, whispering an explanation in Tian Cangchen's ear.

"Liang Jinglue, what do you think we should do?"

Tian Cangchen asked in a low voice.

After what just happened, Tian Cangchen has now become somewhat dependent on Liang Jinglue.

In his view, Liang Jinglue was full of cunning and resourcefulness, which was perfect for assisting him.

“Su Mu is a man who is only interested in profit, and we need help. I think we can ask him for help, but we also have to be careful that he doesn’t steal the treasure.”

Liang Jinglue said in a low voice.

It's obvious that the Demon Court is now weaker than the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Even Tian Cangchen couldn't defeat that golden giant just now. If Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and the God of Medicine really want to seize the treasure, they might not be able to handle it.

If Su Mu is willing to help them, then there's no need to worry about Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and the God of Medicine.

However, Su Mu is someone we cannot afford to be complacent about.

Although Su Mu has never broken a promise before, what if he does?
After all, money is a powerful motivator. That was the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves. Would Su Mu really not be tempted?

"To be honest, a top-grade spiritual vein has already emptied my coffers, and I don't have anything more to offer him to hire me now."

Tian Cangchen whispered, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.

Although Tian Cangchen was a disciple of the Martial Ancestor, he could only produce one high-grade spiritual vein after so many years of accumulation.

He was really going all out to get the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves as a congratulatory gift for his master.

If he can't get the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves, he'll really suffer a huge loss this time, and it will take him hundreds of years to recover.

"The Demon Court still has some hidden strengths."

Liang Jinglue whispered.

It's true that he wants to use Tian Cangchen, but now is not the time to discard him after he's served his purpose.

He and Tian Cangchen are still in the same boat.

He must first help Tian Cangchen seize power within the Martial Sect before he can better utilize Tian Cangchen to achieve his goals.

The two discussed in hushed tones for a while, then returned to Su Mu.

"Lord Su, we are willing to hire you to help us."

Liang Jinglue began to speak.

Tian Cangchen stood beside him with his hands behind his back, nodding slightly, perfectly serving as a backdrop.

"To help you deal with Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and the God of Medicine, my strength alone is not enough; I will need the help of my brothers as well."

Considering how many of my divine weapons you've purchased, my personal expenses are negligible.

But I can't let my brothers bleed and weep.

Therefore, you will have to bear the cost of their services.

Su Mu said calmly.

"learn."

Liang Jinglue said solemnly, "I will certainly not disappoint you all."

"My Demon Court still has some..."

Some haggling.

Finally, an agreement was reached.

Luo Anning, Dongfang Liuyun, Marquis Jin, Marquis Mingyi, Chen Beixuan and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is this Su Mu's method?
They followed Su Mu here, expecting a great battle.

Each of them was ready for battle.

Unexpectedly, after traveling a long distance to the Demon Court, he received a benefit before even making a move.

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it was real.

Now they know that there really are fools in the world who get sold out and then help the seller count the money.

Liang Jinglue, the Imperial Preceptor of the Demon Court, was always known for his wisdom and resourcefulness, but unexpectedly, he fell for such a big trick.

"Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating."

Now I finally understand why Su Mu, despite his humble origins, never lacked cultivation resources.

If I had that brain, I'd be flying right now.

Shi Binbin muttered softly.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

They knew perfectly well that this whole thing was a scheme by Su Mu.

They witnessed the scheme unfold, saw Su Mu use the materials provided by Tian Cangchen to forge a batch of counterfeit "Heavenly Mandate Weapons," and then sold these counterfeit "Heavenly Mandate Weapons" to Tian Cangchen.

Tian Cangchen was attacked by the Great Xuan Dynasty and the Cangqiong Sect because of these counterfeit "Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapons". Su Mu took the initiative to help Tian Cangchen and then received a huge sum of money from Tian Cangchen.

one stone two bird?
Do not!
This is killing several birds with one stone!

"Lord Su, let's not beat around the bush."

Liang Jinglue looked at Su Mu and said in a deep voice, "You should also know the secret of the Heavenly Mandate Divine Weapon, and you must also know what Emperor Xuan Yang Xiuhu and the Medicine God want to seize."

Let's be petty first, then act like gentlemen.

We ask for your help, but if you turn against us at the last minute or are tempted by money—”

"Then you don't need to worry."

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "If I wanted that treasure, I wouldn't have sold the Heavenly Weapon to you."

I've already made enough from this deal, so naturally I won't covet this treasure anymore. I can guarantee that with my integrity.

I'm the kind of person who only earns what I'm entitled to; I won't take a single penny of ill-gotten gains.

Tian Cangchen and Liang Jinglue both looked incredulous.

"Since you are our benefactors, I can make an exception and swear an oath."

Su Mu said calmly.

…………

"Yang Xiuhu, is this what you mean by having your own plans?"
Now that your spy has been killed by Su Mu, what other options do you have?

Dozens of miles away from the Demon Court, the army of the Great Xuan Dynasty set up camp.

The God of Medicine glared angrily at Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu.

"If Tian Cangchen finds the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves first, can you still snatch the treasure back from him?"

The Medicine God was furious.

Even the Golden Armored Divine General was only slightly stronger than Tian Cangchen.

Once Tian Cangchen obtains the treasure and is determined to escape, there's no way they can stop him.

Moreover, Su Mu has now gotten involved as well.

Su Mu's strength is no less than Tian Cangchen's.

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, also had a furrowed brow.

He is now even angrier than the Medicine God.

He also lost a member of the Heavenly Illusion God Clan!
"I am powerless to change this. I'd rather not have this treasure."

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, said in a deep voice, "Unless the Cangqiong Sect sends a powerful expert, I advise you to give up as well."

It's just a treasure. Even if we give it to a Martial Sect Master, can the Martial Sect possibly overpower the Azure Sky Sect?

You understand—

The Medicine God initially wanted to curse him out, but after thinking about it, he realized that Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, was, after all, an ally and had helped him a great deal.

"You don't understand anything!"

The Medicine God took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "That is no ordinary treasure; it is the treasure left behind by the Seventy-Two Thieves!"

Forget it, I can't explain it to you.

He frowned and pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "You're right. Things are out of control now, and I must ask the sect for help."

"Emperor Xuan, I need you to help me set up a new teleportation array."

"are you joking?"

Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, was taken aback and couldn't help but blurt it out.

If teleportation arrays could be set up so easily, wouldn't he have been able to travel freely between the two worlds long ago?
The teleportation array was something we had to work hard to set up.

"Do you think I'm joking?"

The Medicine God said in a deep voice, "Give me the array diagram of the teleportation array, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

The Azure Sky Sect is the number one sect in the Great Void Sacred Realm; we are not just a name without substance!

The Medicine God thought to himself.

…………

Having agreed on a price with Su Mu and witnessed Su Mu make a vow, Tian Cangchen wasted no more time and headed straight for the map.

They were a large and undisguised group.

Both Tian Cangchen and Liang Jinglue were well aware that no matter how careful they were, they could not completely avoid the eyes and ears of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

In this outer realm, the Great Xuan Dynasty is the undisputed overlord, with spies all over the world.

Especially now, it's easy to imagine that Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, has definitely sent people to keep a close eye on them.

Since we can't avoid their surveillance, we might as well be open and honest.

Now that they have hired Su Mu, they are not afraid at all even if Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu, and the God of Medicine make a comeback.

Even Tian Cangchen didn't notice that the confidence Su Mu gave him had become so powerful.

With Su Mu by his side, he felt unprecedentedly at ease. He even felt that the treasure of the seventy-two thieves was already in his grasp.

"Tian Cangchen, what if the treasure you find isn't even as valuable as a top-grade spiritual vein? Wouldn't you be at a huge loss?"

Su Mu spoke lazily.

He didn't know the value of the fake treasure set up by the demon cat, nor did he know the value of the real treasure left by the Seventy-Two Thieves.

Judging from Tian Cangchen's confident demeanor, he might know some information that others don't.

"impossible."

Tian Cangchen sneered, "You don't understand anything."

His words were exactly the same as what the Medicine God said to Emperor Xuan, Yang Xiuhu.

"I don't understand, but if you ask me to change it, I won't. What's the point of a treasure whose contents are unknown compared to a top-grade spiritual vein?"
"Tian Cangchen, if you lose money, don't come back to me. The deal is done; wins and losses are up to fate."

Su Mu said without taking offense.

"Each each other."

Tian Cangchen said, "Don't think you can go back on your word just because the treasure is too precious. You have already made a martial arts oath. If you break it, your martial arts will never be able to progress again."

"I think you're just blinded by a leaf and can't see Mount Tai."

If the treasure of these seventy-two thieves is really that amazing, then how could the seventy-two thieves have been defeated back then?
Everyone says they've mastered the method to break through to the Celestial Venerable level, but I think that's just a rumor.

If they really had that ability, how come they all died?

Su Mu said it casually, seemingly unintentionally.

"You think that way because you are ignorant."

Tian Cangchen sneered, "Now I believe that your Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques were not obtained from the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves."

Otherwise, you would never have said something like that.

As far as I know, among the treasures of the Seventy-Two Thieves, there is at least one complete body of the Celestial Venerable!

The Seventy-Two Thieves were defeated, but the Celestial Venerable's side did not achieve a complete victory either, as some Celestial Venerables had died at their hands back then.

Can you imagine? A group of Celestial Realm cultivators actually killed a Celestial Venerable!

The Celestial Venerable is synonymous with invincibility. No Celestial Venerable has ever been killed. In everyone's mind, the Celestial Venerable will only die of old age and it is impossible for him to be killed.

But now, Tian Cangchen actually claims that the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves contains the remains of the Celestial Venerable.
Su Mu's heart skipped a beat.

There couldn't possibly be the Celestial Venerable's remains in the fake treasure trove set up by the demon cat. Could this be about to expose the deception?
He glanced instinctively at the giant, monstrous cat. (End of Chapter)
